Six Sunday: Weak in the knees

Okay, okay, enough teasing these past few Six Sundays. In today’s six, you find out what’s up with the dude calling Dylanie’s name outside her window … sort of:

In a blink, he’s moved from the base of the gnarled tree to the stone patio beneath me. Despite the landscape lights, he looks solid, not like a spirit at all—no haze, no shapeless black shadow figure. Slowly, so slowly, he raises his head. My legs go weak, and I grip the railing for support. Below me is the hot dark-haired man I saw on the steps when I arrived.

“Dylanie, I ask you again: may I come in?”

(Say yes! Say yes!) Next week we’ll find out what he wants from her. Well, one of the things he wants from her. 🙂

Please check out the other Six Sentence Sunday participants, and I’m so excited because some of my critique group members are posting their very first six today! Please show them some love and welcome them to the group: Lee Ann Ward and Joyce Scarbrough.

There’s something so entrancing about someone asking to come in and waiting for the answer, being bound by it. It seems that he is. Maybe because he’s a spirit? Either way, I’m in total love and as usual, am awaiting next Sunday with bated breath. And yay, tour!

Oh, Steph, I looove these six sentences! The rest of you can all be jealous…I’ve read this work in progress, so I know exactly who Mr. Mysterious is–one of the benefits of being a crit partner. This is a FABULOUS story, and awesome six sentences. Bravo, Steph!
